Is this just your average, run of the mill sports podcast? HA! I’m taking this ten notches above as I uncover ALL that’s happening, and then some, as the latest podcast is here! On deck:

(6:44) NFL Week 11 was intriguing with lots of questions to answer. Are the Bills the AFC’s best? What about the Steelers after their win vs. Baltimore? Can the Chargers build steam as they’re on a winning streak? How about the Lions? Are they the best team overall? Can the Eagles overtake them in the NFC? Will the 49ers not make the playoffs this year? And what I would do if I was the owner of the NY Jets? I will answer all of those questions and much more as it was a wild Sunday throughout the sport.

(37:11) BYU suffered a huge loss at home to Kansas and possibly have them on the outside looking in as far as the college football playoff. Oregon survived a scare at Wisconsin to keep their #1 ranking. Georgia responds with a big home win vs. Tennessee and propels them back into the playoff picture. I’ll have all of the latest as we’re a couple of weeks away from the conclusion of the regular season.

(44:32) Will anyone slow down or stop the Cleveland Cavaliers? It’s quite possible that we could see that happen tomorrow night in Boston as they are currently 15-0. I’ll get into the milestones of Chris Paul (12K career assists) and James Harden (second all time of three point shots made) and why I wasn’t in favor for what Harden said after his achievement? TNT’s Inside the NBA will go to ESPN/ABC after this year. Was that a shock? I’ll see what else is happening throughout the Association as they’re just about a month into the regular season.

(52:08) All is relatively quiet on the ice as the Winnipeg Jets have cooled off losing two in a row in Florida over the weekend. Alexander Ovechkin nets a hat trick vs. Vegas last night to get to less than 30 goals (29 to be exact) to surpassing Wayne Gretzky all time for goals scored in a career. Then you have Connor McDavid who became the fourth fastest player to reach 1,000 points in a career as he did so a few nights back.

(56:57) I’ll spend a brief moment talking about MLB handing out their awards this week and Tampa Bay confirming where the Rays are playing their homes games next year.

(1:00:11) Do I have to recap the boredom and absolutely flop of the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight on Friday night? Will Paul pivot to fight against boxers in the professional ranks? What about the undercard match between Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano?

(1:05:05) Jon Jones continues to add to his UFC legend defeating Stipe Miocic in the octagon on Saturday night. Who’s up next for him to battle? You may be surprised to hear who he has his sights set on.

Ready, set, go as I’m flying out of the gate capturing all that’s happened and what to possibly expect throughout the sports universe as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(6:36) I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the soldiers, servicemen and women in our country, fighting for our nation and protecting our freedom here on this Veteran’s Day.

(7:01) We’re now ten weeks into the NFL season, finally past the halfway mark. I’ll express the good, bad and ugly of what has transpired over the first two plus months of the year. Has it been a season to remember at this point? I’ll recap all of the action of the weekend, including a big Steelers win in Washington. The Lions getting out of Houston alive with a victory. And the Chiefs are still unbeaten.

(34:22) College football continues to surprise as there were more upsets on Saturday. Did Georgia take a severe hit to their playoff chances losing at Ole Miss? What about Miami upended at Georgia Tech? You know LSU is out after suffering a blowout defeat at home vs. Alabama. And BYU survives after a controversial call to stay unbeaten and in the mix to qualify for the 12 team playoff next month. How will the committee dissect this after Saturday’s games?

(46:13) Don’t look now, but the NBA In Season Tournament begins tomorrow! Will yours truly get wrapped up over the next month with the culmination in Las Vegas? What has gone on with the Milwaukee Bucks? The free fall continues, but this falls on one person as to why they’re a far cry from the championship level team of a few years ago. I’ll check on what else is going on in the Association before pivoting to…

(58:02)…the latest on the ice. The Winnipeg Jets have set an NHL record for the best start to a season ever. They’re on pace for 77 wins. Can they keep this up? Alex Ovechkin scored two more goals to leave him 32 away from surpassing The Great One all time in the history of the sport. I’ll peek on how other teams are faring after the first month of the season.

(1:03:40) The MLB hot stove has cooled off a bit. Although there is one glaring question surrounding the most coveted free agent, Juan Soto. Are there any other teams besides the Yankees & Mets that will entertain discussions with the slugging outfielder? Plus, a new manager surfaces in Miami and a familiar one comes back in The Bronx, but is a lame duck heading into 2025.

I’m about to handle my business and may get a little personal because of what has transpired over the last few days and what’s to come as I roll up my sleeves and share all of the feels in the world of sports as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(6:33) After a brief mention of a Cowboys-Steelers matchup that lasted until 1:00am, the hunt for Red October in baseball shifts to a Division Series as the top two seeds are introduced in the AL & NL. First, I have to unpack how the Mets have gotten here. Where does Game 3 in Milwaukee rank in Met history after Pete Alonso’s heroics in the 9th inning? What about their Game 1 comeback of the LDS? And doing it again in Game 2 before losing? There is an issue regarding the magic that this team produced, which I’ll be sure to dissect as they come home with a chance to wrap up the series at Citi Field. There’s an all out battle on the West Coast. The Dodgers win Game 1 behind Shohei Ohtani’s game tying home run early in the contest. The Padres answer with a 10-2 win in Game 2, becoming testy with some of the Padres players and the fans in the stands. How much pressure are the Dodgers to win this series? The Guardians show up and tame the Tigers in their first game. Can they go deep into October and make a run for the title? Then the Yankees had to eke out a win in unimpressive fashion vs. Kansas City. I’ll get the full 30,000 foot view to date of what has taken place and see what lies ahead as we get into the middle of the week. Also, Terry Francona surprised the baseball world as he’s returning from a one year retirement to become the manager of the Cincinnati Reds.

(32:45) There are three teams that are facing a crossroads of their NFL season. The Jets lose over in London to fall to 2-3. The 49ers had no business losing at home to Arizona, but also fall a game under .500. And the Bengals could be over and out after squandering a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter to the Ravens, as their record stands at 1-4. Will these teams dig out of their respective holes to qualify for the playoffs in January? Of course, I’ll get into all of the craziness yesterday throughout the league, including my beloved Steelers whose defense were unable to answer Dak Prescott in the closing minutes of a gut punch of a loss against the Cowboys. And a belated farewell to Mercury Morris, the former Dolphin running back of the undefeated team back in 1972, who died a couple of weeks ago at the age of 77.

(57:25) If you thought the NFL had a crazy Sunday, college football said, I’ve got something for you. There were five major upsets in the sport, headlined by #1 Alabama losing to Vanderbilt. You also had #9 Missouri get whacked by #25 Texas A&M. Arkansas topping #4 Tennessee. #10 Michigan losing a championship rematch in Washington to the Huskies and USC gets stymied by Minnesota. What do these losses mean in the grand scheme of college football playoff things?

(1:05:27) The puck has already dropped on the NHL season with two games that the New Jersey Devils won in Prague vs. the Buffalo Sabres, but I’ll unpack the top storylines, over/under point totals, surprises, disappointments and a Stanley Cup Final prediction as the curtain will raise in earnest tomorrow night.

(1:24:21) Alex Pereira retained his light heavyweight title at UFC 307 in a tussle that turned out to be more than what it was, stopping Khalil Rountree in the fourth round on Saturday night.

Closing out the first month of the year with plenty to digest and dissect on all that took place in sports, so get your earbuds, headphones or speakers ready as I share all of my thoughts, opinions and analysis. On deck:

(3:15) We have a Super Bowl LVIII matchup set in two weeks at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. One that we're very familiar with. Kansas City showed their grit and championship DNA in winning another huge road game, 17-10 over the Baltimore Ravens. What went wrong for the #1 seeded Ravens? Is this all on the QB Lamar Jackson? What about the head coach John Harbaugh? Oh, there is much to unpack here as the Chiefs go back to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in five years to defend their title from last year. As for the nightcap, all of Michigan must be sick because the Lions weren't able to seal the deal vs. the 49ers. What was the head coach, Dan Campbell, thinking on going for it not once, but TWICE, instead of kicking a field goal? Another Niner comeback propels them in a rematch of Super Bowl LIV in Miami where the Chiefs and 49ers will go at it in less than two weeks. I'll unpack every fiber of what took place yesterday, take a peek at some coaching hires as we're just one game away from the 2023 NFL season concluding.

(35:38) Luka Doncic put up 73 points on Friday night vs. Atlanta, days after Joel Embiid scored 70 points in his own right. Will we see a player eclipse what Luka did? Could someone score 80? Surpass Kobe Bryant's 81, 18 years ago? You have a big regular season game tonight out West when the top two teams in the conference face off in OKC where the Timberwolves face the Thunder. There are two reunions on Wednesday with Kevin Durant going back to Brooklyn for the first time since the trade last year and Damian Lillard's return to Portland where he spent all of his career before being dealt to Milwaukee last summer.

(51:47) Not much happening in MLB. Do I get crazy about the Tigers signing one of their prospects to a 28.5 million dollar deal (INF Colt Keith) when we saw this earlier in the offseason with the Milwaukee Brewers?

(52:29) The first Grand Slam tournament in tennis has completed. Jannik Sinner had an Australian Open to remember. He not only beat Novak Djokovic in the semifinals, but came back down two sets to love in the final vs. Daniil Medvedev to win his first men's title 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. On the women's side, Aryna Sabalenka was victorious winning back to back titles (NOTE: I made the correction at the very end of the podcast. I stated that this was her first Aussie Open win. She's now won consecutive AO tournaments) to complete a very intriguing tournament overall, with the French up next in the spring.

Another venture into the sports universe with yours truly as I share the latest episode with plenty to dive into. On deck:

(2:50) We're just days away from the AFC & NFC Championship Games. I'm going with a different tact to uncover the perspective of each team heading into Sunday's games. Is this Lamar Jackson's time to take his team to the promised land? Are the Chiefs playing with house money as a defending champion? Will the Lions finally get to their first Super Bowl with destiny, possibly on their side? And how much pressure is on Niners coach, Kyle Shanahan, to get back to and win the whole thing? I'll get into all of that and share my analysis of what may come as we're one step closer to Super Bowl LVIII. There's big news coming out of LA as Jim Harbaugh is the new Chargers coach. Will his presence not only bring them back to respectability, but also become an elite team in the sport? And what's the latest with Bill Belichick? Is he going to end up in Atlanta? Why did they ask for a second interview?

(30:06) The Milwaukee Bucks have had an interesting week. The front office dismissed first year coach Adrian Griffin due to their ineptitude on defense. They bring in Doc Rivers as a replacement. Is he the right guy for this job? The Heat make a good trade (Terry Rozier) but is he a fit for the Heat Culture in Miami? What about the championship aspirations for the Minnesota Timberwolves, as well as, the Oklahoma City Thunder? I know we're just past the halfway point of the season, but are they in this for the long haul? How about the Phoenix Suns moving up the standings out West? And Joel Embiid's 70 point game the other night are some of the things I unpack as I check on what's happening in the Association.

(42:48) On the ice, the Edmonton Oilers are clicking on all cylinders, winners of 14 in a row. At some point they'll cool off, but can this team make some noise and become a Cup contender? Vancouver, Winnipeg and Colorado have played well during this recent stretch. And there's an accusation of a handful NHL players involved in an alleged sexual assault dating back to 2018 which has a bad optic at the moment as I'll bring the latest of what's going on in the NHL.

(50:01) We're down to the final few days of the Australian Open. On the men's side, Carlos Alcaraz has been beaten by Daniil Medvedev in four sets, thwarting another opportunity to have an epic showdown with Novak Djokovic. Was that a blow to the tennis fan? As for the women's side, Coco Gauff was unable to win back to back Grand Slams as she lost to Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals. Is it tough for the US tennis fan to not have much to root for? I'll stay on top of who'll win down under as we'll revisit this on Monday's podcast.

(53:07) The Baseball Writers of America (BBWA) have elected Adrian Beltre, Joe Mauer and Todd Helton, leaving out Billy Wagner, Gary Sheffield among others. Did they choose the right three guys? Who belongs? Who doesn't?

Here to unpack all that has taken place in the sports world the past few days and beyond, you've come to the right place to get your fill on all that's transpired. On deck:

(2:58) And then there were four. A thrilling Divisional Round in the NFL capped off by another Bills-Chiefs showdown where Kansas City guts out a 27-24 road win in Patrick Mahomes first ever playoff road game. I'll discuss their toughness, grit and the greatness of the Chief quarterback, who I think is already a Hall of Fame QB. As for the Bills, it was another bitter disappointing playoff defeat for a fan base seeking their first Super Bowl win. Is it time to make some significant changes to their roster in order to get to the mountaintop? The Baltimore Ravens showed why they were the best team in the AFC. They stormed out of the locker room at halftime to run the Houston Texans out of the building in a 34-10 win. The 49ers dodged a serious missile as Brock Purdy showed he can anchor a game winning drive down more than a field goal in a 24-21 win. And give it up to the Detroit Lions who make their first conference championship in 33 years as they hung on to beat a very game Buccaneers team. The Final Four are set. Chiefs-Ravens. Lions-49ers. I'll get into those two games on Thursday's podcast as we have just THREE more NFL games left on the schedule.

(32:59) The latest in the NBA over the past three weeks have been relatively quiet. What is there to assess? What is there to address? Trae Young's concussion. RJ Barrett & Immanuel Quickley returning to MSG as members of the Raptors? I'll dig up what I can as teams are just about or past the halfway point of their season.

(41:00) On the ice, my beloved NY Islanders made a shocking move. Not by firing coach Lane Lambert, but hiring legendary goaltender Patrick Roy patrolling the team. Is this a good move by this underachieving squad? Ironically, Marc-Andre Fleury surpassed the aforementioned netminder to become the second all time winningest goalie in NHL history. And the Edmonton Oilers continue to be the hottest team in the sport, winners of a bakers dozen (13 games) as they are STILL six points behind the second place Vegas Golden Knights in the Pacific Division. I'll peruse what else is going on in the NHL as they're just a couple of weeks away from the All-Star Break.

(51:00) We're into the second week of the Australian Open. The men's side has been chalk to date, but on the women's side, there have been plenty of upsets including #1 seeded Iga Swiatek over the weekend. This sets up Coco Gauff to win back to back Grand Slams dating back to the US Open last year. I'll keep you guys and gals abreast of her and everyone else's progress on the next podcast as the tournament goes deeper into the week.

(53:23) Another big time MLB free agent has been signed, with still a few more (i.e. Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery, Cody Bellinger and Matt Chapman, et. al) to go. Closer Josh Hader signed a five year deal with the Houston Astros. Does this make them the favorite to go back to not just the ALCS, but World Series?

If it's unrelenting, passionate sports talk that you're looking for, then look no further as I'll delve in on all that's transpired and what's ahead in the world of sports. On deck:

(2:49) We get to, what I feel, is the best weekend of football. The NFL Divisional Round. First up, a recap of Monday's two games to wrap up the Wild Card Weekend. My beloved Pittsburgh Steelers lose up in Buffalo as I'll have a postmortem (although Coach Mike Tomlin is returning in 2024) What does this mean for the team moving forward? The inexplicable happened in Tampa as the Philadelphia Eagles mailed in the final month plus with an uninspiring 32-9 loss to the Buccaneers. Should the head coach, Nick Sirianni, be fired because of this terrible stretch. I'll get into the three big storylines of the four games this weekend. Will Lamar Jackson rise to the occasion after an MVP regular season? Is it time for Kyle Shanahan to get back to a Super Bowl, considering the road to Las Vegas is a borderline cakewalk? How about the Buffalo Bills exorcising playoff demons against the Kansas City Chiefs, this time in their home stadium? And can the Detroit Lions get to their first conference championship game since 1991 with a win against Tampa Bay? I'll uncover all of that, including the puzzling return of Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy after Sunday's debacle vs. Green Bay.

(36:57) The Indiana Pacers made a significant upgrade to their team, acquiring Raptors guard Pascal Siakam, to go along with Tyrese Halliburton and Myles Turner. Can they compete in the East with Boston, Milwaukee & Philadelphia? I'll also discuss the sad and tragic passing of Warriors assistant coach, Dejan Milojevic who suffered a heart attack in Utah on Tuesday night. Oklahoma City has dodged a public relations nightmare as Josh Giddey was found no wrongdoing in an alleged relationship with a minor. The NBA will have another in season tournament with some tweaks next year. Will they have it during the same time (early November-early December) the second go-round? I like that the NBA Draft is going to two nights in order to slow the progress of a rapid second round as the league does their best to spread out the event instead of packing it all in one evening.

(50:21) On the ice, it's been status quo. My Islanders continue to sink in the Metropolitan Division and the Red Wings will be without Patrick Kane for some time with a lower body injury, unrelated to the hip injury dating back to last year.

(53:00) As for what's happening in the Australian Open, the women's side has had plenty of top seeds go by the board. Ons Jabeur, Jessica Pegula & Elena Rybakina all were ousted, which almost was the case for #1 women's player, Iga Swiatek, who came back in the third set down 4-1 to advance. On the men's side, it's been chalk as no major upsets have taken place, although Novak Djokovic has been given a run for his money as he's had to work to win the first two rounds in four sets against two unknowns.

It's a NEW YEAR! There's lots of promise, excitement and a renewed sense of faith as yours truly has big plans for the upcoming year when it comes to the podcast, as I deliver the very first one on the first day of 2024. On deck:

(3:03) A new year has arrived as I'm excited about where the podcast is going and what it will have to offer in 2024. You'll have to keep your fingers on the pulse and stay tuned to find out what to expect here as I've got a lot coming up the pike, especially during this first quarter of the year. So you won't want to miss out on this news.

(5:13) With just one week to go in the regular season, the Baltimore Ravens are showing the rest of the NFL that they could be the team to beat when it's all said and done. They destroyed the Miami Dolphins in a 56-19 drubbing yesterday at home. Is this team on the fast track to winning a Super Bowl? On the flip side, I'll discuss how the Dolphins have fallen pretty far from being a top team in the league, but now have to fight tooth and nail to win a division come Sunday vs. the Bills. There was some big time controversy in Dallas on Saturday night as it looked like the Lions were going to walk out of AT&T Stadium with a big road win. Instead, a terrible call by the officials on the winning two-point conversion ended up being incomplete after a few tries as the Cowboys sweat out a one point win. What has happened to the Philadelphia Eagles? They were defeated by the Arizona Cardinals in what turned out to be a death knell for the Eagles. Can they rebound in time to have a long playoff run? I'll discuss my beloved Steelers chances to see if they can get one of the final playoff spots in the AFC. I'll go over all that went down in Week 17, unpack all of the playoff possibilities as we head into the final weekend of the NFL regular season.

(42:32) College football will have their last four game playoff as Alabama will face Michigan in the first game, where the nightcap will see Texas-Washington square off. I'll preview both games and who may possibly meet in the National Championship next Monday night in Houston.

(49:26) Break up the Detroit Pistons. They finally break a lengthy 28 game losing streak against the Raptors on Saturday night. Is it possible that they can avoid the worst NBA record during an 82 game regular season in history? There was a surprise trade as the Knicks & Raptors exchanged players with OG Anunoby going to NY and RJ Barrett & Immanuel Quickley moving North of the Border. I'll take a peek on what else has transpired in the Association over the weekend.

(56:22) Every January 1st, the NHL showcases the Winter Classic which'll be played in Seattle with the Vegas Golden Knights coming to T-Mobile Park. Is there a lot of interest from the casual or good sports fan? The Rangers have been hot in the Metropolitan Division as they're the first team to get to 50 points so far this season.

(58:12) The Atlanta Braves continue to procure talent this offseason, doing their best to keep pace with what the Dodgers have done to this point. They've acquired former Red Sox ace Chris Sale for INF Vaughn Grissom. Is this a huge risk with the oft-injured Sale over the past few years?

Wrapping up another year of the podcast as I present the final episode of 2023 with all that's happening in sports. On deck:

(3:03) I have to start off with saying THANK YOU to those who've listened, followed and supported me over the past year and beyond. 2024 will be an epic one! That's a promise!

(3:53) With Monday being the first of the year, I'll produce and post a podcast as of right this moment. Stay tuned to my YouTube channel (link below) for any scheduling changes.

(4:39) This is an enormous week if you're the Miami Dolphins. They pay a visit to Baltimore in what will be a battle for the top seed in the AFC. Can the Dolphins finally get the respect and win a big road game? There's an interesting development that took place in Denver with the benching of Russell Wilson. Is this the last time we'll see the former Super Bowl winning QB in a Broncos uniform? I'll get into the other key matchups, what to look forward to in Week 17 as we're just ten days away from the conclusion of the regular season.

(29:50) The College Football Playoff is on the horizon. I'll delve into the top storylines heading into the doubleheader with Michigan-Arizona being the first game, followed by Texas-Washington in the nightcap. How much pressure is on the Wolverines to finally get to a championship game? Is Alabama playing with house money? Will Washington-Texas be a high scoring shootout?

(36:19) In the Association, the Detroit Pistons made history. They broke the all time losing streak of 26 games with a loss to Brooklyn on Tuesday night. Is it possible that they could break the all time record (9-73) by the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers? I'll see what else is going on throughout the NBA as we're still a few weeks away from the halfway point of the season.

(43:28) The NHL will have their day in the sun as they'll have their annual Winter Classic in Seattle on January 1st. Will anyone watch? Does anyone care? Plus, there was a Stanley Cup Final rematch last Saturday between the Vegas Golden Knights-Florida Panthers. Why didn't the league showcase or highlight this game? I'll have that and anything else that's happening on the ice.

(49:05) MLB has had a rather ice cold offseason (despite the Juan Soto trade to the Yankees and the Dodgers signing of Shohei Ohtani & Yoshinobu Yamamoto) There have been a few transactions over the past few days (including the Yankees trading another young, promising prospect), but little to no news about top free agents Blake Snell, Cody Bellinger and Jordan Montgomery, to name a few.

On the eve of the biggest election ever, vote for yours truly, when you come to get fast paced, action packed sports talk as Episode 162 is chock full of nuggets sizzling in your earbuds or speakers. On deck:

(2:45) A competitive and wild NFL Week 8, highlighted by the winners and losers of Sunday. Are the Patriots done? Are you sold on the Bills? Should the Cowboys play in primetime? The aftermath of the best rivalry in football (Steelers-Ravens) A look ahead to Week 9 and what to expect as the trade deadline looms tomorrow?

(40:04) What a week for the Clemson Tigers! Not only was standout QB asked about his plans of entering the draft, but he also came down with COVID-19. I’ll share why he NEEDS to become a Jet (if they end up picking #1 overall) and with him out of the lineup vs. #4 Notre Dame, are the Tigers chances to make it the college football playoff in jeopardy? Also, is this the end of Jim Harbaugh at Michigan after another painful loss to Michigan State?

(54:45) I’ll spend a few minutes on Game 6 of the World Series, including, Justin Turner’s decision to join his teammates on the field to celebrate their title, as well as, managerial hirings in Chicago (White Sox) and Detroit. Steve Cohen officially is the Mets owner. And some big names on the baseball free agent market.

(1:06:17) I’ll take a brief trip through the NBA landscape as the league takes another financial hit with a late start to their season. A new GM lands in Philadelphia. Will this cause a potential discord between Daryl Morey and Doc Rivers? And Mike D’Antoni will assist head coach, Steve Nash in Brooklyn. What does this mean for Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving?

(1:13:32) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Listen to "NFL WK 12 Headlines: Pats 'Offensive', Ravens: NFL's Best? Cowboys By Default? Titan Uprising. Bama/Harbaugh Done? CFP Top Four. Kyrie Comme" on Spreaker.

Zooming through the sports landscape as I deliver (Episode 98) and all that happened this past week. Here’s what I got for you.

A lay of the NFL land through Week 10 as I discuss the Saints laying a huge egg at home, to the Falcons, no less. The Chiefs in Patrick Mahomes’s return lose to the Titans on the road. Lamar Jackson’s bid for MVP on the heels of a putrid NFL team in Cincinnati. The Steelers have come all the way back from an 0-3 start to put themselves in control of their own destiny for the AFC playoff race. Do the Browns have gas in the tank? Has the clock struck twelve for the Bills? I’ll have all of that for you, and then some, with a look ahead to Week 11.

LSU vs. Alabama was entertaining, but not the classic that people are making it out to be. I’ll recap the stars of this epic showdown, with the more important question. Will Alabama make the College Football Playoff this year?

The GM Meetings begin in Arizona today as the MLB Hot Stove will start to heat up. Could this be another slow off-season for the over 130 free agents to be making their way to new destinations?

I’ll also highlight the week that was on the ice (NHL) and on the hardwood (NBA)

Listen to "Saints/Chiefs Stymied Among NFL Week 10 Storylines. Is Alabama Out of CFP? Will MLB Have Another Slow Off-Season? Plus, NBA & NHL Updates" on Spreaker.

Ushering in November with some sizzling analysis (Episode 97) as I take you through the sports universe. Here’s what I got for you.

The disasters in New York (Jets) and Cleveland as both Adam Gase and Freddie Kitchens are feeling the heat in their first season as head coach. The Niners are the last undefeated team standing in the NFL. I’ll discuss how far they can take their streak, plus go around the league to chime about the Patriots first loss and other storylines throughout Week 9.

The Washington Nationals won their first World Series in historic fashion by winning all four games on the road. I’ll put a nice ribbon on their magic carpet ride, as well as, what the Astros did wrong, particularly in Game 7. I’ll also get into some of the top free agents on the market this off-season. And, of course, my insight on the new Met manager, Carlos Beltran, that you don’t want to miss.

I’ll share some thoughts on the NBA where there was a high scoring affair between the Rockets vs. Wizards, Stephen Curry’s broken hand and Joel Embiid is up to his stupid tactics yet again.

And don’t forget, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Listen to "Patriots 'D', Gase/Kitchens Dismissal? 49ers Last Undefeated & Other Week 9 NFL Storylines, Nats Seal Deal, Mets Brass Incompetence, Embiid'" on Spreaker.

I'm in a feisty, awful sports mood, so hide the women and children, because Episode 90 promises to be full of smoke and fire. On deck:

In fourteen NFL cities this morning, either they're setting up the Super Bowl parade route or ready to draft for the number one pick. But there are two excpetions. I'll explain. I'll also go around the league and assess the damage up in Foxborough as the Steelers no showed vs. the Patriots.

The Mets have put their postseason hopes in the trash after a brutal loss in Washington and losing two out of three vs. Philadelphia. Mickey Callaway may have seen his managerial position go out the window with some very questionable moves this week. I have plenty of ammunition on this and I'll also recap the latest in the AL & NL Wild Card races.

Rafael Nadal has inched closer in his quest to catch Roger Federer for most Mens' Grand Slam titles. Serena Williams has now lost back to back Wimbledon and US Open Finals as she's stuck on 23 Grand Slam victories. Hear my take on both legendary figures and what may lie ahead in 2020 now that the Tennis Slams are done for the year.

Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Listen to "The 'Not Too High or Too Low' Theme From NFL Week 1, Except? Steelers 'Not Ready For Primetime', Mets 'Not Ready For Postseason' Tirades, ML" on Spreaker.

The first show of 2019 is chock full of sports chatter as I deliver all of the latest and greatest on this edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. NFL Wild Card Weekend is in the books. Three of the four road teams win, with the Dallas Cowboys being the lone home team victorious. I’ll dissect all of the games, bad coaching moves and preview what lies ahead in the divisional round next week. I’ll also update what’s happening with the Jets search for a new coach. And fallout in Pittsburgh with Antonio Brown? The Steeler soap opera continues as you’ll hear what I have to say about my beloved football team. A national champ will be crowned in college football as Alabama & Clemson go at it for the third time in four years. I’ll preview the big game out in Santa Clara, CA. and do the Tigers have a shot to dethrone the Crimson Tide from going back to back in the FBS?. The Mets continue to make moves, but not the ones we, as Met fans, we’re hoping for. I’ll provide my analysis on their latest deals as we’re just five weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training. Plus, my thoughts on the surprising play of the Brooklyn Nets, James Harden the greatest offensive player ever? More Jimmy Butler drama, this time in Philly. Tom Thibodeau out in Minnesota. The New York Islanders streaking to the top of the Metropolitan Division and much more on this weeks episode of The JAYREELZ Podcast. (Episode 48)
